Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Public Adjuster?

A Public Adjuster is the ONLY adjuster that is licensed by the State to represent you, the policyholder. Only a Public Adjuster can represent you and advocate on your behalf without any conflict of interest. Public Adjusters are free to fight for you as they are agents employed by you, not the insurance company.

What is the difference between an Insurance Company Adjuster and an Independent Adjuster?

An Insurance Company Adjuster is employed by an insurance company and is ultimately placing the financial interests of the company above yours when evaluating your loss. Independent adjusters are contracted by the insurance company to represent them and their interests. Independent adjusters might not properly advise you of your options resulting in a less than favorable settlement.

Do I need a Public Adjuster? Can I File Myself?

While you most certainly can file your own claim, you should consult a public adjuster first before making a costly mistake. Southeast Public Adjusters provides free consultations offering valuable information that will help you decide how to proceed. Many homeowners who choose to submit their own claims do not receive the full settlement they are entitled to simply because they do not have the claims processing experience needed to challenge their insurance company.
